Plots(1)
My Dear Secretary is a romantic-comedy about Owen Waterbury (Kirk Douglas), a renowned novelist, who hires aspiring writer Stephanie Gaylord (Laraine Day) as his secretary. Stephanie is overjoyed when she learns she's gotten the job, but her elation begins to fade when she finds out she'll be working in Owen's apartment, where they're constantly distracted by a relentless barrage of wacky visitors. Moreover, Owen seems less interested in work and more so in play - his interest is blondes rather than books. Fed up with the immature womanizer and having no desire to become his latest conquest, Stephanie quits; but Owen is hooked. Set on winning her over Waterbury does away with his playboy principles and does everything he can to win her back. But is this just another game to the writer, or is Owen Waterbury truly a changed man? (Echo Bridge Entertainment)
